Australia would look to end the league stage with a dominating win over Bangladesh in the first match of the doubleheader that will take place in Pune on 11th November 2023. The 5-time Champion Australia entered the semi-finals with a stunning win over Afghanistan thanks to Glenn Maxwell’s brilliance.
On the other hand, Bangladesh registered a 3-wicket win over Sri Lanka in a heated match. Shakib AL Hasan has been ruled out of this match due to an injury. They need to avoid big defeats if they need to qualify for the Champions Trophy 2025.
